We will be running the 2011 London Marathon on April 17th in aid of the local “Macmillan Cancer Unit” in Christchurch, Dorset.  Macmillan Caring Locally is a Trust operating from offices in the Macmillan Unit, which provides funding to enhance this care, and to provide an attractive, homely environment for patients and their families and visitors. They also provide funds for nursing and medical equipment to improve patient treatment and comfort.  Running a marathon is the most challenging and scariest thing we have probably ever done, but we hope that with support from our friends and family, and knowing that we are running for this great Charity, we will find the motivation to put in the necessary training and energy on the day to get through it.
